NEW ART/ NEW FAVE COLORS/ HEALTH UPDATE

I think it's about time for some art posts isn't it, has been way to long!!!  This one was so much fun, I love love these colors and they say SUMMER to me. It's my burst of COLOR COLLAGE page filled with paint, abc stickers and BUTTONS which I love!!! Going to do this again later outside on something BIG,  just having FUN!!
Here is another favorite, these are more paint scrap papers from Bonita. They fit perfectly in my art journal, love love all the colors. I used my INSPIRE stamp to remember that she and these papers inspired me to paint so much last week. Click on the image to see my words and the paint images better. I know there is some white space but for now I'm leaving it like this. Thanks Bonita !!
This was fun also, lots of DRIPS!!! I love doing this now and mixing colors together. Guess what this reminds me of, ice cream dripping from cones and from my kid's chins, lol  I'm thinking of writing something about ice cream or summertime in the middle but haven't yet in fear of messing it up. I just like this to much for now so soon I will do more on it then post again to show you!! This was done on a manilla folder with white gesso painted on first before the drips. The kids really love this one also!!
Another fun and messy one. Guess what??? These are the colors inspiring me right now, made lots more yesterday with these colors and will post next week. I want to paint my bedroom and living room in these colors, want to make pillows and curtains with it. I've just started thinking of purses/shoes/dresses last night with these fabulous colors also. The one thing missing on this page is that I wanted big black arrows pointing in mixed directions on this page but still need to do it. For now I'm loving it just like this and don't want to mess it up. This was also done on a manilla folder with white gesso down first. I'm going to do this again in my art journal and want to do this again BIG one day on a canvas and hang them up, maybe even some big words with these colors also.!!

This was all about layers and using my hands for painting and using some sprays. I didn't like the orange at first but it's growing on me. Still want to put words on here, just not sure what yet??? 

So there you have it, a little bit of art HAPPINESS from me!! I'm so glad to finally be painting more again. Last month's health issues seemed to have taken away my art mojo but it's back and better stay.
My recent (yesterday) doctor appt. went well and I have some thinking and researching to do now and help decide what my next step should be. More on that later but know I'm doing GREAT!!
Thank you for visiting and for always encouraging me with my art, it does help me!! Enjoy your day!

  1. Dawn, You have been into some real painting and collaging.The first one reminds me of summer too, of grasslands. Love the buttons you've glued to the page. Dripping is a favorite technique of mine too.Love all the pages but the black, yellow, gray page rocks. I Love what you have done with them.
    Good to know that you are doing good. Take care of your health and have a great week.
